A decision on filling the vacant District 8 seat in Laredo has been delayed. The seat became vacant when council member Alyssa Cigarroa decided to run for mayor. The city council had been expected to decide whether to hold a special election to fill the seat, potentially alongside the November ballot.

However, after discussion and an executive session, the council tabled the agenda item. Further details on the decision and the status of the vacant seat are available from local news sources. The filing deadline for other Laredo races, including mayor and city council, has now closed.
